tugging feeling at largest incision

[AudOne 82]

hey everyone just had my surgery Monday & I'm having alot of pain around the largest incision site, it feels like a tugging or pulling just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I had that with my gallbladder surgery. I think it was the incision healing and the new tissue pulling the wound back together. But might be worth a call to your doc to double-check!

It will heal but you have to baby it for a while. Mine went away around 3 weeks.

oh yes, I had very similiar pain around my large incision-I think it is very normal. My "main" incision hurt for weeks, even after all the other one's were totally healed. It felt like the skin and the organ were sow together at times! Just take it really slow!

Yeah - I had that as well. It was the only one with which I had issues. It took about two months and is very normal. It just means it is healing. However, I would be careful.

Took about 4 weeks for that to go away for me...

My surgeon said to expect that, he explained it exactly as a tugging feeling. It is where they remove the part of the stomach.
